As part of the Victoria PTG the Neutron team entertained the idea of having the OVN driver as the default backend in DevStack (this hasn't yet being decided by the community, this will be discussed within this cycle). For this to happen, we also would need to move the module that configures OVN to the DevStack repository. This is what this patch is doing. Note that we are updating the lib/neutron-legacy module instead of lib/neutron in this patch, this is because as part of the PTG the Neutron team has decided to un-deprecate the neutron-legacy module since the "new" lib/neutron module is broken and nobody is current working on it (also all services uses neutron-legacy). Also, the ovsdbapp has been added to the ALL_LIBS list because a gate job in the ovsdbapp project repository relies on installing the library from source instead of pip to run.

Neutron plugin specific files
Neutron plugins require plugin specific behavior.
The files under the directory, lib/neutron_plugins/
, will be used
when their service is enabled.
Each plugin has lib/neutron_plugins/$Q_PLUGIN
and define the following
functions.
Plugin specific configuration variables should be in this file.
- filename:
$Q_PLUGIN
- The corresponding file name MUST be the same to plugin name
$Q_PLUGIN
. Plugin specific configuration variables should be in this file.
- The corresponding file name MUST be the same to plugin name
functions
lib/neutron-legacy
calls the following functions when the $Q_PLUGIN
is enabled
neutron_plugin_create_nova_conf
: optionally set options in nova_confneutron_plugin_install_agent_packages
: install packages that is specific to plugin agent e.g. install_package bridge-utilsneutron_plugin_configure_common
: set plugin-specific variables,Q_PLUGIN_CONF_PATH
,Q_PLUGIN_CONF_FILENAME
,Q_PLUGIN_CLASS
neutron_plugin_configure_dhcp_agent
neutron_plugin_configure_l3_agent
neutron_plugin_configure_plugin_agent
neutron_plugin_configure_service
neutron_plugin_setup_interface_driver
has_neutron_plugin_security_group
: return 0 if the plugin support neutron security group otherwise return 1neutron_plugin_check_adv_test_requirements
: return 0 if requirements are satisfied otherwise return 1
